50 Best Sushi Bars near Briarwood

“Service was excellent and the food was divine, yum yum“

“I came here a friend and had 2 rolls (salmon and tuna), one sea urchin, and one wagyu single piece. All the food was incredible. Some of the best sushi I've had in my life. My friend had 2 vegetarian rolls, which both were delicious. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that enjoys higher quality sushi, especially at lunch since they have some discounted rolls.“

“Delicious fresh food and amazing drinks! Celebrated my friend’s bday there and we had a 12 course menu! Great atmosphere and the DJ was a great touch! Had a great time at Kaizen.“

“Fantastic speakeasy sushi joint. Very small, no more than an handful of people may join the omasake style bar where 3 talented (and cool) chefs serve you the best crafted sushi you can get. Definitely going back soon.“

“Second to none! The ingredients are fresh and chef skills are world class.“

“Love the pad thai so much. Really authentic Thai kitchen. Thank you so much guys. I really enjoyed this!“

“Great food very good service“

“Absolutely outstanding experience at Prime No.7. David looked after me from start to finish and his customer service was genuinely 10/10. He was friendly, professional, and took his time to make sure everything was perfect. You can tell he really cares about his customers and takes pride in his work. Easily the best service I’ve had in a long time. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending David to everyone I know.“

“PHENOMENAL! I was a little leary of omakase in East Harlem and at the price point, but this place hits it out of the park. Very simple ambiance and decor but made up for by very charismatic service staff and professional cooks. Splurge on the premium omakase, it's worth it for the chutoro...nice and fatty. Will definitely give Sugarfish a run for their money and it's nice to see uptown. Meal can get a little rushed at times given the high turnover; however, the pace keeps it moving. Nice to see this quality food and experience uptown, and I will definitely be back.“

“This is the best omakase experience we’ve ever had! The fish was so fresh and you can tell the chefs put a lot of thought behind the flavor of each piece. We came here for my boyfriends birthday and they truly made it a special experience. We couldn’t stop raving about how good it was and will absolutely be back. From the sushi to the service, everything was so amazing. I hope one day they offer takeout experiences because I can tell it would be amazing quality. Thank you!“

“Tuna cutting ceremony was a thrill in all respects… great staff here !“

“Tsubomi is one of the most authentic Japanese restaurants I have visited in New York. The restaurant is run by Chef Genta and his wife, Beth, and their warm hospitality makes every guest feel at home.

Chef Genta trained extensively in traditional kaiseki cuisine in several cities across Japan and also perfected his sushi craftsmanship at the renowned Ginza Kyubey, one of Japan’s most respected sushi restaurants.

What makes Tsubomi special is that you can enjoy truly high quality sushi and traditional Japanese foods in a cozy and charming setting without the intimidating formality often associated with fine dining. Their lunch menu is especially affordable, and every dish is prepared with exceptional care and technique.

If you are looking for genuine Japanese foods and expertly crafted sushi, I highly recommend Tsubomi. It is a restaurant I will happily return to again and again.“

“The best sushi I ever had.Friendly chef and attentive staff.“

“We came it at an extremely late time (~30-40 minutes before closing) and they were the only sushi place still open. Not only that, they had amazing menus on iPads and gave us multiple options for water. Lastly, they had our food out extremely quickly and it was extremely good, especially the fries which was very surprising. Each roll was very pretty and perfect for photos. Thank you so much for Sam and Brooklyn for their incredible service at such a late night, it meant a lot because it was after my sister’s graduation and she loves sushi. Would definitely recommend this place, the atmosphere was amazing as well.“

“I highly recommend! The design and food is awesome.“

“My husband and I came here on a whim, and while the food was good—we ordered the sushi—I think we’d try the regular noodles next time. What truly made this place stand out, though, was the service. Jack was fantastic—so personable, kind, funny, and attentive. He checked in at all the right moments and made the whole experience feel special. Honestly, I’d hire him to work with us if I could! We will definitely be back.“

“Server Xin from Sushi Gama has set a high standard for restaurants in the East Side area! Our server, Xin, was the best part of our experience. Xin displayed wonderful customer service and is by far the best server we've ever encountered. A big shout-out to Xin! He was a wonderful waiter because he provided amazing service and was very attentive. He kept changing out any dirty plates without us even having to ask. We would definitely come back for him!“

“This is honestly one of the best Japanese restaurant in NYC! As a raw fish lover, I’m always looking for places that serve truly high quality fish, and this place absolutely delivers. Super fresh fish, and an amazing dining experiences!“

“Attended an Omakase event, Staff Amazing, Food absolutely delicious 😋, The experience going and enjoying time with your friends, priceless. They made us feel like we were part of the Koma Sushi 🍣 family. THANK YOU“

“Food was delicious. Would go back again“

“I've been here a few times. See the same staff every time, and they're great. I got the chirashi once, and now it's all I get. The fish in it is the best I've ever had. Great selection, huge pieces, super fresh, fair price. You won't be disappointed!“

“Excellent Sushi ! Would highly recommend. Only wished they had Saki.“

“PERFECTION 👌 👍 If you are looking for a relaxed small sushi shop OMAKASE ONLY experience in the UES. ❤ The nearby places are usually packed with people and this place is a good breather from the crowds 😄 Note ⚠ that this is about $70 or $100 per person omakase but WELL WORTH IT to be honest 👍 Most ingredients brought from Tokyo's fish 🐟 market directly 😀“

““I had a great experience here. The food was fresh and delicious, especially the omakase set. Staff were friendly and service was quick. The restaurant was clean with a relaxing atmosphere. Prices were reasonable for the quality. Definitely worth visiting!”“

“Really enjoyed the sushi here! I ordered the Ask Sushi and the Fuji roll, and both were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. All tasted high quality, and the balance of flavors was perfect. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was cozy. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!“

“This is some of the best sushi I have ever had. Super fresh ingredients and the sushi so good I didn’t require dipping sauce. I highly recommend.“

“In past decade plus, in the prior establishments- Thai, Asian fusion/Japanese - the food was horrible and portions were small, especially for takeout (think shrinkflation re: Ubereats/Doordash). We'd try every year or two but were disappointed each time. This new place, Look Deer, opened up the last couple years and we finally gave it a chance this earlier in January. It is run very well. Their sashimi is very fresh and even better, their hot appetizers and entrees - tonkatsu ramen, hamachi kama, fried oysters, salmon skin, just to name a few - are excellent especially when compared to similar small counter-style takeout sushi joints by U (ex. Sushi Bistro, Happy Canteen). Haven't tried a lot of their rolls - which are very good - since we've been testing out their hot entrees. The mackerel is unique and moist. Their takoyaki octupus balls, with fish flakes, are crispy outside and hot and juicy inside, which is how they should be versus likely frozen/precooked & reheated by others (ex. Vivi's Bubble Tea). We also love their sushi for 2, which can be pricey but amazing for a special occasion or treat since it has premium ingredients like sweet shrimp, umi and others (think toro or higher grade tuna). My wife and I now bounce between Look Deer and our regular sushi places (Nagoya, Mitoushi), which are much larger and provide a more intimate setting, including for private conversations. Look Deer is very cozy although cramped but their premium quality and wide selection more than makes up for it. Look, dear, let's try this place out again soon. =)“

“My wife and I went to Sushi Jin last night for the first time. It was wonderful on all fronts - the space, the vibe, the freshness, the omakase selections, the assembly, the presentation, and of course, the taste (oishii!). Really good sake, too. Chef Tachikawa took great care of us- he was friendly, gracious, and way capable. Our server (everything else but the sushi), Jean, was also fantastic. We walked out of there satisfied & very happy and thought it was the perfect dinner to celebrate our anniversary. We look forward to our next visit.“

“Hi,

I previous left a comment about the ribeye in my ribeye pho being raw. I apologize for that comment as I had not realized at the time that is how it would typically be served. I felt my review needed to be updated after learning that info. My pho was delicious! Just a good refreshing noodle soup. Will be trying their other items soon“

“Tried this place yesterday and was honestly impressed. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with great attention to detail. Every roll we ordered was delicious, and the presentation was beautiful. The staff were welcoming, patient, and made us feel comfortable throughout the meal. Great food, great service, and a nice atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back soon!“

“I’ve had sushi all over America, and this is a top contender amongst the best I’ve had. The menu is on the simpler side, but don’t let that detract you from the absolute quality they deliver. The sushi rolls are larger than typical and priced very reasonable for what you get. Plus they serve warm sushi rice which not many places outside of Los Angeles do.“

“Absolute best Japanese food I had in my life.

And I’ve been to ALOT the steak I had was nothing but pure Quality worth every doallar and more. It almost felt like I wasn’t charged enough by how good it was.“

“Its such a clean place,with delicious flavors and awesome staff�����. I always recommend it too my friends.“

“Mr sushi always treats us so well. Excellent white fish complimentary which is a lovely way to begin this exquisitely delicious culinary experience. The staff is sensationally kind and the music just tops it off so well. I would reccomend anyone to come here.“

“Dai Hachi Sushi in LIC perfectly balances top-tier culinary skill with genuine hospitality. The sushi is phenomenal—the fish is incredibly fresh, and the chef's precision is evident in every beautifully crafted roll and nigiri piece.

Beyond their undeniable competence, the staff’s warmth is what truly sets them apart. They are incredibly attentive, happily accommodate dietary needs, and make you feel entirely at home the moment you walk in. It’s rare to find a restaurant that pairs such flawless, high-quality sushi with such a caring, neighborhood vibe. Highly recommend!“

“This place has the potential of being staple in the harlem neighborhood. It more of Americanized Japanese food that they serve. Which is not a bad thing, this is good place if you want something different but still stay in the familiarity of dishes. Their prices are very fairand give good portion sizes. I will recommend for you to come try it if you never been. It's definitely a place to go for lunch or picking up something quick.“

“Good food and cheaper. Very nice staff“

“I love JC! I've ordered from here countless times and it always gets to me super fast. I really love their Shrimp Tempura Roll and the fact that they have amazing party platters for a good price. The fish is always fresh and everything is high quality.“

“Got the omakase to go. Was surprised by how good quality the fish was. Some unique flavors/pairings as well. You can tell they are really trying to deliver high value sushi without giving up on quality as much as they can. Also love the soy sauce/and miso soup“

“I’ve been coming to enjoy sushi since they first opened; whenever I wanted some good quality sushi to-go or like today, on a special occasion. I’m always greeted with a smile and I appreciate how accommodating they are with requests. Highly recommend!“

“The Rainbow Naruto roll ($14.95 plus tax), wrapped in a thin sheet of cucumber with no nori or rice, is a lighter option for a specialty roll and is perfect as an appetizer. The mixed tempura ($21), though crispy, has a slightly stodgy batter. The vegetable pieces could have been cut smaller as they are a bit unwieldy. The space is quite small. The service is very accommodating.“

“It's pretty nice inside and I like the massive selection that you can choose from. Definitely cool for hanging with friends or a casual date because the vibe is pretty chill. I usually don't have to deal with a wait before being seated and the skewers are great for sharing because they're all bite sized.“

“Had a great time at Dagim! The whole experience was excellent from start to finish. We got seated right away, had time to order, our food came out quickly, and it was amazing.

No one likes leaving a restaurant hungry after spending hundreds of dollars. At Dagim, we spent less than we would have at other places and left completely satisfied.“

“Brooklyn native but just moved into this area with my man, so we had to check this place out. Stopped in mid-day for food and drinks and it did not disappoint!

We ordered karaage, hamachi crudo, a roll, shishito peppers, brussel sprouts, scallop ceviche, and the spicy salmon crispy rice. Everything hittt

Had some unfiltered sake and a cocktail.
And Mikey behind the bar was amazing, super attentive, made excellent recommendations, and took care of us the whole time. One of the best food and service experiences we’ve had in Brooklyn.

New neighborhood spot unlocked. We’ll be back.“

“The loveliest decor, most delicious food and kindest service. I love coming here and brought my cousin for a celebration.

The regular omakase was superb. The chef created nigiri that had interesting flavor notes (yuzu and others), expertly prepared rice, and divine fish. More than one piece of fish seemed to melt on the tongue rather than needing to be chewed.

My cousin said that it was an out of body experience. I agreed, and then we added two types of hand rolls (snow crab with tobiko and plain scallop). The crispness of the toasted nori heightened the delicate fillings and again, the rice is so much more than an afterthought: I am still thinking about it.

I can’t remember the exact order of the arrival of the miso shrimp soup and omelet, but everything heightened the experience further. The miso soup and balanced sweetness in the omelet showed that no detail is too small for the elegance of the meal. My one regret was not finishing the soup, but the sheer volume we had eaten was at lot by that point!

We also enjoyed two different teas, warming our hands on the beautiful cups as we came in from the cold: one with dinner and another with dessert, which we ended up ordering so we could linger a bit longer in the moment. The desserts were phenomenal, especially the grape sorbet. In addition, I usually get uncomfortable on bar stools, but these are so comfortably designed that time passed without my noticing.

While you can get takeout, you are missing out on the warmth of the people at Noz Market and a sublime sensory experience created by a team that truly cares about your learning and enjoying yourself. It is not to be missed.“

“I had an amazing experience at Pokeworks! The teriyaki chicken poke bowl was incredibly fresh and flavorful, with generous toppings like avocado and spicy mayo. The quality of the ingredients was top-notch, and the portions were satisfying. The atmosphere was casual and inviting, perfect for a quick meal. Highly recommend trying it for delicious poke!

“Great value for lunch omakase in the UES. The $49 lunch set comes with an appetizer, 9 pieces of nigiri, miso soup, and dessert, which felt very reasonable for the quality and amount of food.

The fish quality was good, especially the o-toro and salmon belly. I personally prefer a more traditional/simple style of sushi where high-quality ingredients are served with minimal seasoning, and some pieces here had a bit more toppings or flavor combinations than I usually like. That said, everything was well prepared and enjoyable.

The caramel ice cream dessert was surprisingly delicious and a very nice ending to the meal. Overall, a solid and satisfying lunch omakase with great value.“

“First off, I absolutely love Yellowstone Sushi! I’ve always ordered sushi rolls here because they’re consistently fresh and delicious. Tonight I decided to be a little adventurous and try sashimi for the first time. I ordered the sashimi appetizer, not realizing it’s normally an assortment of different fish, and I had requested only salmon.

They called me to explain the menu and, as a one time courtesy because I didn’t know, they kindly offered to make it with just tuna and salmon instead. I want to be clear that this was a special accommodation they made for me and not something they normally offer.

I thought that was incredibly thoughtful and such wonderful customer service. They took the time to call, explain everything, and make sure I had a great first sashimi experience instead of just sending the standard order.

Thank you so much for your kindness! It truly meant a lot. I already love your sushi, and now I can’t wait to try sashimi for the first time. You’ve definitely earned another loyal customer! ❤️

If you’re in the area you have to try their spiderweb roll! It’s delicious!“

“Really enjoyed the takeout I ordered for delivery. The Royal Greens Salads are huge!!! I would say they're twice as big as other salads chains. I wish it was easier though to know the dietary info for the salad dressings as I could not tell which ones were vegan. I love that you can choose your own protein and swap some of the toppings or build your own. I also got the green tofu curry dish from SriPraPhai as well. The sauce was incredibly flavor and I liked the amount of kick it had. It was spicy but not too spicy for me atleast. I do wish it had more tofu in it though as it felt very sauce heavy. I would order takeout from here again especially if I was getting food with someone who wanted something different then me. I appreciate the free delivery and the amazing portion sizes. It's nice to be able to order multiple cuisines as well.“

“My girlfriend and I came here to celebrate a special occasion. They have a good happy hour and the service was fantastic. They are super friendly and attentive. The fried rice is awesome and the general tso’s chicken was delicious, with portions so big that we took home leftovers. If I could recommend one thing it would be the fried dumplings appetizer, best I’ve ever had in NYC. We will be back soon!“
